Chapter 6 Present-Day
It had been about a month since Lily disappeared, Shaun and Roxy had to get back home to sort out his wife's funeral but Roxy didn't want to leave Egypt without Lily but as we were walking back towards where the camp was set up. Roxy and her dad had decided to get some sleep before they left the next morning so that they could get to tavern early the next morning.
The next morning Roxy had woken up first and had decided to try and make some breakfast for herself and her dad who she knew would be waking up soon.
It was just going 8 am when Shaun had gotten up "Morning Roxy how long have you been up," Shaun asked Roxy as she passed him some food Shaun took the food and sat down next to his daughter "I've been up since 7 as I know that you want to get an early start today so that we can get to the tavern before lunchtime" "Yes Roxy you're right I do want to get an early start once we have eaten and have packed the camp away then we can leave."
"Dad what about Lily do you think she's okay," Roxy asked as she finished eating and went to clean up the dishes before going to the tent that she was meant to be sharing with her sister.
Two hours later after everything was cleaned up and packed after Roxy and Shaun were making their towards where the tavern is when they bumped into Roxy's uncle Brandon which Roxy found strange that he would turn up here just as Lily had disappeared "Brandon what are you doing here" Roxy heard her dad, say from where she stood next to her dad "I was in Cairo last month when I had bumped into the two girls and was looking for since I heard and Bella" Brandon said as he looked at his brother in law and Roxy before walking off. "Dad come on the tavern is only 5 minutes away we can rest there for the night and then tomorrow we can get to the hotel then from there to the airport," Roxy said as she ran off in front of her dad.
5 minutes later Shaun and Roxy had gotten to the tavern and were able to find a seat so that they could rest for a bit before calling over a waitress so that they could order something to eat and drink "Welcome to the Puzzled Dragon Tavern how can I help you" "Lucinda is that you" Roxy asked as she turned towards the waitress
"Roxy, Shaun how are where is Lily did something happen while you were up at the old palace is she okay," Lucinda asked as she took their orders "she fine but what do you mean did something happen up at the old palace," Roxy asked as she looked at Lucinda who had sat down at their table while she was taking their order.
"Oh it's nothing just an old tale that used to be told that parents used to tell their kids or at least that what I heard it was but there is another story where it's said that there is a spell-like inscription on the walls of the palace, and if the person who has even a small bit of magic in them or a family heirloom. That, if the spell is said they will be transported to the past to fight a great evil that would try to take over Egypt." Lucinda said ass she looked at both Shaun and Roxy in the eye.
"How do you know this" Shaun asked as he turned towards the waitress
